Foreword
This document (EN 494:2012) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 128 "Roof covering
products for discontinuous laying and products for wall cladding", the secretariat of which is held by NBN.
This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical
text or by endorsement, at the latest by April 2013, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the
latest by April 2013.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. CEN [and/or CENELEC] shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This document supersedes EN 494:2004+A3:2007.
This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the
European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Directive(s).

1 Scope
This European Standard specifies the technical requirements and establishes methods of control and test as
well as acceptance conditions for fibre-cement profiled sheets and their fibre-cement fittings for one or more of
the following uses:
roofing;
internal wall finishes;
external wall and ceiling finishes.
For the purpose of this European Standard, fibre-cement profiled sheets are classified according to their
height of corrugation and their mechanical characteristics.
This European Standard covers fibre-cement profiled sheets reinforced with fibres of different type as
specified in 5.1.1, with and without factory applied coating.
This European Standard does not include calculations with regard to works, design requirements, installation
techniques, wind uplift or rain proofing of the installed sheets.
NOTE Some of these requirements can be applied, after agreement, to curved sheets for specific applications.

5 Product requirements
5.1 General
5.1.1 Composition
Fibre-cement profiled sheets and fittings shall consist of cement or other pozzolanic material reinforced by
fibres. The cement shall comply with EN 197-1 or an agreed technical specification.
This European Standard covers fibre-reinforced cement profiled sheets and fittings of type NT.
The reinforcing fibres shall be one or more of the following forms:
discrete elements randomly dispersed;
continuous strands or tapes;
nets or webs.
Process aids, fillers and pigments which are compatible with the composite may be added.
5.1.2 Appearance and finish
The sheets may be left with their natural colour, or colouring matters may be added in the composition; they
may also receive adherent coloured or uncoloured coatings on their surface.

---------------------- Page: 10 ----------------------
SIST EN 494:2013
EN 494:2012 (E)
Variations of the surface appearance, which do not impair the characteristics of the sheets as defined in this
document, are permitted.
On exposure, the surface and/or its coating will be affected by weathering which may vary with site, location,
aspect, pitch of roof and duration of exposure. Any deterioration in this respect shall not detract from the
minimum mechanical and physical characteristics as specified in this document or from the function of the
sheet as a durable element.
Edges shall be straight and clean.
Sheets may have mitred or pre-mitred corner(s) and/or may be predrilled for fixing.
The fittings shall have a general appearance and finish compatible with the sheets with which they are to be
used. They may be supplied with holes for fixing.
5.2 Dimensions and tolerances
5.2.1 General
The manufacturer shall specify the nominal dimensions.
NOTE See 5.7 for designation and information.
Fittings shall have nominal dimensions and shapes determined by the manufacturer and appropriate to the
corresponding corrugated section sheets.
5.2.2 Categorisation by height of profile
The sheets are divided into five categories, depending on the nominal height of the corrugations, according to
Table 1 (examples of profiles are shown in Figures A.1 to A.7).

vary regularly from the crowns and valleys to the flanks of the corrugations, as shown in Figure A.8b.
When measured in accordance with 7.2.1.3, the minimum individual thickness for each category shall be as
specified in Table 2.
